Der Girls’Day – Mädchen-Zukunftstag ist ein bundesweites Projekt zur Berufs- und Studienorientierung von Mädchen. Am alljährlichen Aktionstag lernen Schülerinnen Berufe oder Studienfächer kennen, in denen der Frauenanteil unter 40 Prozent liegt. Am 25. April 2024 bekamen die Teilnehmerinnen zwischen 09:00 - 15:00 Uhr erneut die Gelegenheit, die Welt einer Wissenschaftlerin aus verschiedenen Standpunkten zu sehen.
Gemeinsam mit dem Institut für künstliche Intelligenz beteiligten wir uns mit einem vielseitigen Angebot zu den Bereichen Bilderkennung, Chatbots und der künstlichen Intelligenz in Spielen. Zudem gaben die Forschenden Einblicke in ihren Alltag und beantworteten viele Fragen zur Anwendung und Funktionsweise von Künstlicher Intelligenz. Wir hatten eine Menge Spaß und freuen uns bereits auf das kommende Jahr.
Wir bedanken wir uns bei allen Teilnehmerinnen und Mitwirkenden!

Using personalized medicine to combat depression—we are part of the largest German study to improve depression treatment. Using biomarkers to find individual diagnosis and therapy paths—what already works in oncology should also become possible in psychiatry. Under the leadership of the Hannover Medical School (MHH), a national research network is now being launched that aims to tailor the treatment of depression more closely to the individual patient than before. The project, entitled “Personalized, Predictive, Precise and Preventive Medicine to Improve Early Detection, Diagnosis, Therapy and Prevention of Depressive Disorders” (P4D), aims to develop individualized treatment approaches.

Wissenschaftspreis 2013/2014
Uni Präsident Prof.Dr.-Ing. Erich Barke überreichte am 26.02.2014 Dipl.-Ing. Holger Zernetsch (IMP) und Dipl.-Ing. Florian Baumann (TNT) den Wissenschaftspreis für das Spin-Off HearingCampus für die beste Geschäftsidee.
Geschäftsidee ist eine App, mit der Jedermann zuhause sein eigenes Gehör testen kann.
Die Möglichkeiten gehen dabei über einen normalen Hörtest hinaus: so kann mit der Lösung auch das Verständnis von Silben und Zahlen untersucht werden. Außerdem kann direkt aus der App heraus Kontakt zu einem Hörgeräteakustiker in der Nähe aufgebaut werden, wenn eine Hörminderung festgestellt werden sollte.
Der Akustiker kann dann das zuvor mit der App erstellte Hörprofil auf Wunsch des Kunden auslesen und als Grundlage für die Einstellung von Hörgeräten verwenden.
So sparen beide Seiten Zeit und es kann eine optimale Anpassung auf die Hörbedürfnisse des Kunden vorgenommen werden - bestehende Hörgeräteträger können die App nutzen, um ihr Hörvermögen laufend zu untersuchen und wenn nötig die Einstellungen ändern lassen.
Dies schafft effektivere Arbeitsprozesse für den Akustiker und erhöht gleichzeitig die Zufriedenheit der Kunden. Die beiden Gründer agieren dabei als unabhängiges Bindeglied zwischen beiden Gruppen.

SFB 653 extended
We are proud to announce the extension of the Sonderforschungsbereich 653 "Gentelligent components in the life cycle" for another 4 years. The overall funding is 9mio. EUR spread over 17 subprojects, in which 10 institutes from both the electrical and the mechanical engineering departments participate. The goal of SFB 653 is to create mechanical components that are able to "feel" and record their entire life cycle in order to continuously optimize newer generations of the same component.
The TNT contributes to this interdisciplinary collaboration with its strong expertise in signal processing and pattern recognition. Helping the SFB's vision of a self-controlled cradle-to-cradle monitoring, Dipl.-Ing. Benjamin Spitschan works on self-identification and counter-plagiasm technologies, enabling individual mechanical components to securely authenticate themselves during the manufacturing and use phases.

Die Europäische Kommission fördert Prof. Rosenhahn mit 1,3 Millionen Euro
Am Institut für Informationsverarbeitung wird Prof. Bodo Rosenhahn mit seinem Projekt im Bereich "Maschinensehen“ forschen. Es geht darum, wie man Fähigkeiten des menschlichen visuellen Systems auf einen Computer (ausgestattet mit einer Kamera) übertragen kann. Insbesondere das Erkennen dynamischer Szenen, beispielsweise menschlicher Bewegungen, soll dabei erforscht werden. Diese Projekt wird durch das Excellenzprogramm des European Research Councils mit 1,3 Millionen Euro über fünf Jahre gefördert. Dies ist für Prof. Rosenhahn und die Fakultät ein riesiger Erfolg.
Der Europäische Forschungsrat fördert insbesondere hochkarätige grundlagenorientierte und visionäre Forschung. Die wissenschaftliche Exzellenz ist dabei das entscheidende Kriterium. Die Konkurrenz in diesem Programm ist sehr hoch, die Bewilligungsquote liegt bei unter zehn Prozent der eingegangenen Anträge.

1st and 3rd at BBO-Challenge@NeurIPS'20
Prizewinner: Difan Deng and Marius Lindauer et al.
AutoML.org & IOHprofiler, featuring the switching squirrel. After fixing a minor bug, our Switching Squirrel achieved a strong 3rd place at the black-box challenge at #NeurIPS2020 (#AutoML and Hyperparameter Optimization). On the warm-start friendly leaderboard, our Squirrel was even ranked 1st and was awarded an extra prize money. Our Squirrel combines ideas from (i) (simple) meta-learning by recognizing known configuration spaces, (ii) a diverse portfolio of acquisition functions, surrogate models and data transformations for Bayesian Optimization and (iii) differential evolution for a greedy final stage. It is the outcome of a joint collaboration between the groups from AutoML.org (tnt@Leibniz University Hannover and University of Freiburg) and IOHProfiler (Leiden University and Sorbonne University).
